Marc Rosen, RSC Fellow, CAE Fellow 

 Ontario Tech University, Canada

BIO: Dr. Rosen, a Professor with Ontario Tech’s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (FEAS) in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, was one of 102 new Fellows named by the RSC on September 6. Recognition by the RSC for career achievement is the highest honour an individual can attain in the Arts, Social Sciences and Sciences in Canada. This is the first time in the university’s history that a nominee from Ontario Tech has been selected for a RSC Fellowship.

Dr. Rosen, whose career achievements include a distinguished list of fellowships and awards for contributions to mechanical engineering and the engineering profession, is a leader in the areas of energy, exergy, heat transfer, and thermofluids engineering. His research, publications and industry partnerships have led to increased efficiency in traditional energy systems and improved alternative energy technologies, as well as a new understanding of how to meaningfully quantify sustainability and greater environmental stewardship in the areas of energy and engineering. He has also had a tremendous impact on Canadian engineering through his leadership in academia and professional societies. Dr. Rosen received his Bachelor of Applied Science (Engineering Science), Master of AppliedScience (Mechanical Engineering) and PhD (Mechanical Engineering) from the University of Toronto. He served as the Founding Dean of FEAS when Ontario Tech opened in 2003.
